Can't See the Image

[Mike Bonner]

Not sure it has anything to do with it, but you might try to-- set the
filename of image "myimage" to the shortfilepath of "path/to the/file.png"
which will turn it into a non spaced, 8.3 style path.  But I see klaus has
added a response, so i'm sure correct answer is forthcoming as soon as I
update my screen. :D  (either way, the shortfilepath conversion is helpful
in so many places, especially when using shell() )
